Samples of 60 mm×25 mm are cut out of these 0.5 mm films and are exposed in a WEATHER-OMETER Ci 65 (black panel temperature 63±2° C., without water-spraying).

The material thus obtained is compression molded in a laboratory press between two aluminum foils for 6 min at 260° C. to a 0.5 mm thick film which is cooled immediately to room temperature in a water-cooled press. Samples of 60 mm×25 mm are cut out of these 0.5 mm films and are exposed in a WEATHER-OMETER Ci 65 (black panel temperature 63±2° C., without water-spraying).
